The national average for a gallon of regular remained the same as the previous week at $3.19, welcome news for the record number of drivers heading out of town for the long holiday weekend. Californians are paying an average of $4.87 for a gallon of gas right now, down five cents from last week. Compared to last Memorial Day weekend’s state average of $5.17, current gas prices are down by 30 cents. “Gas prices haven’t been this low over Memorial Day since 2021 when the national average was $3.04,” said Doug Johnson, spokesperson, AAA Mountain West Group. “Supply and demand are playing a role in this year’s lower pump prices as crude oil supply is currently surpassing demand.”
Fuel Prices Around the State:

- San Jose: $5.01

Oh gasp! it is down from $5.17 to $4.87… that is still $2.00 more than 99% of the rest of the nation. Nothing but crooks here in Ca. “thanks Gavin”
Elections have consequences.
just sayin’
Yes they do – but unfortunately after 2 elections and 1 failed recall Newscum is still there …. despite his campaign promise to get under the price gouging by big oil & bring Calif gas prices in parity with the rest of the US – we’ve seen what’s happened.. and now they’re projecting $8 / gal gas by next year …. we had the chance to get rid of him – but noooooooo, I guess the majority likes outrageous gas prices
The price gouging is by the State, and he could actually do something about it.
But he won’t.
So it’s a soft rape?
I mean the price is down .30¢ from last year but we’re still paying $1.68 more than the national average per gallon so it would seem we are still getting jack-hammered up the kazoo but it could be worse….. I don’t think we owe anybody a “thank you” tho.
Especially me! I paid $5.50 a gallon for Super the other day when I filled up my 1969 Time Machine.
